Pumice Stone Foot Scrubber

How to Care for a Pumice Stone Foot Scrubber

Proper care for your pumice stone foot scrubber ensures it stays clean, effective, and long-lasting. Follow these simple steps:

After Each Use
Rinse Thoroughly: After using the stone, rinse it under warm water to remove dead skin cells, soap, or residue.
Use a small brush (like a nail brush) to scrub any debris stuck in the stone’s pores.

Shake Off Excess Water: Gently shake or tap the stone to remove excess water before drying.

Weekly Cleaning
Deep Clean: Soak the pumice stone in a mixture of warm water and a small amount of mild soap or vinegar for 10-15 minutes.
Use a brush to scrub it clean, then rinse thoroughly with warm water.

Sanitization: For an extra clean, boil the stone in water for 5 minutes to kill bacteria.

Drying
- Air Dry Completely:
   - Place the pumice stone in a dry, ventilated area to air dry. Hanging it or placing it on a clean, dry towel helps it dry faster.
- Avoid Humidity:
   - Do not store the stone in damp areas, like the shower, as this can encourage mould or bacterial growth.

Inspect and Replace
1. Check for Wear:
   - The stone may wear down or lose its rough texture over time. Replace it if it becomes too smooth or starts to crumble.
2. **Lifespan**:
   A pumice stone typically lasts about 2-3 months with regular use.

Hygiene and Usage
1. Personal Use Only:
   - Each person should have their own pumice stone to prevent the transfer of bacteria or fungi.
2. Avoid Sensitive Skin:
   - Use the pumice stone only on callused or thickened skin, not on irritated, broken, or delicate areas.
